Scooters as Taxis???


Motorcycle taxis, known locally as "ojeks", are a popular way of getting around Jakarta a city of 14 million, but most ojeks are just battered old bikes with filthy, shared helmets that often leave passengers with itchy heads. Many Jakartans consider taking a ride on an ojek a suicidal mission as some drivers are unlicensed, lack basic driving skills and don't think twice about breaking traffic laws.
